Runtown Despite U.S court injunction, singer performs in California

The singer has been in the middle of a legal battle with his label

Eric Many Entertainment over an alleged contract breach. He is also

accused of planning tours in the United States without consent of his

label, making false, malicious and defamatory statements against Eric

Many and its CEO, Prince Okwudili Umenyiora.

On Friday June 3, 2016, Lydia Obasi Hills, Esq., a New York litigator

and entertainment lawyer, secured a temporary injunction, on behalf of

Eric Many, Ltd., in the Eastern District of New York against Runtown

and his manager, Bugu Aneto Okeke, barring all U.S. performances and

appearances by the Nigerian pop star.

The temporary injunction will last for a specified period of 10 days

(June 3, 2016 – June 14, 2016). On expiration, a hearing will be heard

from all parties involved, with a view to getting a permanent one or

resolving the case out of court. Runtown, on Saturday, July 4, 2016,

performed in Oakland, USA, to the consternation of many.

Despite the injunction, the singer kicked off his tour, performing at

the Level 13 AKA Shadow Lounge, in Oakland. A video from the

performance has found its way online via Twitter.
